Tweet Roundup: #Tampongate Edition
Reportedly, tampons, pads, condoms, tissue, and other items were being confiscated for a time from individuals entering the Texas capitol building today. Guns are allowed in the building, with a permit. Twitter is, unsurprisingly, ablaze.
Reportedly, tampons, pads, condoms, tissue, and other items were being confiscated for a time from individuals entering the Texas capitol building today. Guns are allowed in the building, with a permit. Twitter is, unsurprisingly, ablaze.
Apparently, the Texas Department of Public Safety has ordered an end to any confiscation of such materials.

No tampons allowed? Guess we'll just have to bleed all over the seats. #HB2

If considering guns to be safer than tampons doesn't sum up @RickPerry's Texas right now, I don't know what does.

Theory: Congress is orchestrating the #TXLege behavior in attempt to have at least one legislative body in the US even worse than them.

Fortunately, the confiscation has come to an end, but not without some women having already gone in without their supplies.
